Trends in incentive travel: what’s new?

Experience travel: more than just sightseeing

Incentive travel is increasingly about unique and meaningful experiences. It is no longer just about attending a conference, but also about truly experiencing the local culture. From culinary experiences with local chefs to exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of a famous company – there are countless ways to make a deeper connection with the destination. For example, consider a course in Dutch cheese making on a Dutch farm in Gouda or visit the largest Belgian chocolate museum in Antwerp and literally taste the local culture!

Wellness and Mindfulness Travel: focus on health and relaxation

In a time of increasing work pressure and stress, the demand for wellness and mindfulness travel is growing. These trips offer the opportunity to recharge both physically and mentally. For example, consider a relaxing yoga session by the sea in peaceful Zeeland, or for those looking for more adventure, a team building activity in the Belgian Ardennes, such as climbing or rafting. A business trip that focuses on wellbeing is not only an investment in the health of your employees, but also in their personal and professional development

At Holland Destination Management, we understand that business travel is more than just a trip from A to B. It is an opportunity to inspire, connect and add value.
